Arsenal's midfield maestro, Thomas Partey, is poised to rejoin the Black Stars for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

After missing Ghana's previous matches against Nigeria and Uganda in March due to injuries, Partey has regained full fitness and has been instrumental in Arsenal's midfield.

This past weekend, he played a pivotal role in Arsenal's thrilling 3-2 victory over Tottenham.

Sources indicate that Partey is expected to be named in the Black Stars squad by head coach Otto Addo for the forthcoming matches against Mali and the Central African Republic.

Alongside Partey, striker Inaki Williams is also anticipated to make a return to the national team after missing the March international friendlies.

With crucial games ahead, Ghana is counting on the strength of its top players to secure the six points available in the matches against Mali and the Central African Republic, bolstering its prospects for qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
